Navigate Kamp

About

Kanakuk’s Scuba Kamp is an adventure like none other. In two weeks, Kampers will learn scuba and become open water diver qualified and/or become advanced, certified divers—and that’s only the beginning! Both weeks of Scuba Kamp will take place at the ocean! That's right, one week in Panama City Beach, FL and the second week in Elberta, AL near the Perdido Bay! Scuba Kamp participants will be taught stress rescue, underwater navigation, wreck diving, underwater photography, spear fishing, and night diving. Learn more about Scuba Kamp here.

Facilities

Kanakuk campers will stay, play and learn by the ocean while at Scuba Kamp. Looking for more? Check out daily photos from previous summers here. For more information contact us.

Parent and Kamper Testimonials

Even when we are not scuba diving we still have a blast! The ride to the destination where we scuba dive is half the fun!

Drew

Kamper

I wanted to get scuba certified a long time ago, but I never had the time. Scuba camp allowed me to get my certification done and helped me have a blast in the process!

Brenton

Kamper

We were unsure how our daughter's scuba camp experience would go. It quickly became clear after we picked her up that she had a blast! She made friends that she still keeps in contact with and grew spiritually as well. We are thrilled with how this camp impacted our daughter!

Jane

Parent

Exploring God's creation with the campers at Scuba camp allowed us to dig deep with them and share the Gospel. Everyone grew in their faith, including me!
